I cannot recommend the Atlanta Divorce Group to anyone. Here is why: I retained the Atlanta Divorce Group to file a divorce from my wife, a Google executive. Our home was in my wife's name, so I was forced (illegally) to leave the family residence with little more than the clothes on my back, little money, and none of my personal belongings. Furthermore, my wife refused most visitation with my children unless it somehow suited her. It should be noted that I did not cheat on her, abuse her, and was sober the last 16 years of my 17 year marriage. Contrarily, I cooked most of the meals, provided rides to and from school and other activities, and still paid for half the expenses despite making less than a tenth the income that my wife made at Google. I warned my lawyer about my wife's unreasonableness from the start, but was reassured that something like 80% of divorce cases get resolved through mediation. My wife engaged a nasty, well-connected, expensive lawyer who had my lawyer back on her heals the entire process. While we basically asked for nothing during discovery every aspect of my life was scrutinized though subpoenas. Despite almost immediately putting forward a generous settle offer (60/40 in her favor) we still went to mediation. At mediation my lawyer, Shawn Woods, came unprepared. She forgot her laptop and let the other side drive the entire process and narrative. The numbers she accessed using my own computer were off by over $1M making us look like idiots. Granted, my wife had no intention of settling in mediation and instead requested a jury trial. After mediation, despite some reservations, I moved forward the Atlanta Divorce Group since I was now out of money and could not retain a better firm. I had originally been quoted $8000 to get through mediation, but my legal bill was already over $20K. Without access to family funds I had no money to continue the battle. My lawyer said she would get me money from the court. When court came my lawyer was again unprepared and let the other side drive a wild narrative. The hearing had been delayed almost 20 minutes because my lawyer could not get an Internet connection from her own office. She did not prepare me to testify in any way nor inform me that I would be testifying. Because we ran out of time, the court was continued a week later. In between these hearings my lawyer, Shawna Woods, informed me that she wished to be removed from the case stating, "I have no desire to deal with this level of drama". Note that this drama was not caused by me, but by my wife and her lawyer. Since our next court date was in 3 days with no time to get another lawyer and get them up to speed, I complained to the senior partner of the firm and Shawna agreed to stay on through the next hearing. In my opinion, however, she merely phoned it in and left me hanging out to dry. I was ripped apart by my wife's attorney during cross-examination without a single objection from my lawyer Like asking me the same question three times in a row. He would add false commentary after each one of my answers, again without any objection from my lawyer. I got nailed for child support that I could not afford. The only money I was awarded to continue the legal battle through a jury trial, which I was told would be around $100K, was to utilize a line of credit and sell my automobile. Immediately following the hearing my wife, in contempt of court, refused to unlock the joint line of credit. Instead of help, the Atlanta Divorce Group's collection department began harassing me daily for the balance of the now $40K they had racked up in legal fees and then put a lien on my house. While I have long since paid this balance, in addition to having to give a new lawyer a retainer using my credit card, they still have not removed the lien from my house. If only the Atlanta Divorce Group's lawyers were as aggressive and effective as their collections department! To summarize, one year and $40K later, the Atlanta Divorce Group accomplished virtually nothing on my case for me. I have

Save your money and time and choose a different law firm than this one. I don't have a college degree, yet I had to correct EVERY document that was sent to me to approve. Whether it was grammar, their swapping plaintiff and defendant around, or COMPLETELY DELETING ONE OF MY AGREED DAYS IN THE SETTLEMENT. I'd hate to imagine how much more money they would have taken from me to fix an error that big. I was constantly asked the same question over and over, as if they didn't bother to listen to my answer or write it down for later use. I had incriminating evidence of continued illegal drug use by my ex, even while at work. Evidence of her cheating on me and being in a full blown relationship with a drug dealer, didn't matter. Evidence of an abusive ex-MiL hitting my ex, hitting my toddler, and trying to hit me outside of a children's hospital after invading my privacy and taking my phone from my daughter who had just had a seizure. My daughter now spends 5 days a week with a grandmother that hits her in the face and yells at her constantly. With everyone telling me there's nothing I can do until she leaves marks on my daughter. So I have to just sit around and listen to my 2.5 yr old tell me she gets hit in the face and it makes her cry. My ex has broken the settlement agreement numerous times, just like I said she would if she was awarded primary custody. I missed my daughter's first dance recital because I was told the wrong time AND LOCATION. I missed her first dentist appointment and wasn't even told who the dentist was until I received the invoice weeks later. I've been denied FaceTimes with my child multiple times because my ex is mad at me for some reason. Even though she's the one who lied, stole, and cheated on me. My daughter now spends 60% of the time with lying, selfish, abusive people, and I'm stuck paying hundreds of dollars to someone who already stole tens of thousands from me. I should've stuck with my gut and gone in front of a judge, instead of listen to my attorney's "advice". I reached out to a different law firm recently, and they said they have had a recent influx of unhappy customers coming from this firm. Again, save your money and go somewhere else. This is the first, and probably only time, I will ever leave a review for a company that isn't a positive one. But that is how strongly I feel they let me down in every sense of the phrase.

Do NOT hire these people. They will bilk you for every dollar and not produce results. Their claim of specializing in narcissistic divorce is mere marketing. Their reviews on "Birdseye" are fake (read the actual reviews). They are unscrupulous. I'm sure this will be taken down, but hopefully a few will see it.

I was referred to Atlanta Divorce Law Group and will be forever grateful that I was. Megan and Lindsay were with me at every step throughout the most stressful time in my life. They promptly returned emails and phone calls. They explained each process so I could feel confident and know the expectations. In the end, Megan really delivered. Thank you so much! I would highly recommend Atlanta Divorce Law Group.

After 36 years of marriage I was surprised to experience wanting a divorce attorney. ADLG was the first firm to pop up my web search and I never had reason to look any further. Every member of the team was warm, professional, and very good at what s/he does. Communication was timely and thorough; I found the team to be diligent in staying on top of my case. More than anything else the people I worked with are caring, compassionate people. They listened with their heads and their hearts to help my husband and me peaceably reach a settlement we both could live with. Kudos especially to Allen Russell, who very gently "flexed a muscle" on my behalf only when necessary.Bookkeeping matters were handled efficiently online, and there were no surprises.Divorce was the last thing I thought I'd ever be involved in. ADLG provided the perfect partner team to walk me through the process and come out the other side in one piece. Blessings on all their heads.

I used them to help me file for divorce. They were super friendly, understanding and extremely professional. They provided me with a 5 star experience throughtout the whole process. They made a very stressful time in my life as stress free as possible. Looking back, I am so glad I used them and not another Law group. I would highly recommend them.

Everyone I encountered at ADLG was amazing, but my main superheroes were Allen and Lindsay. Allen is a true model of professionalism. My case was complex and full of surprises, but Allen was immediately ready with solutions and options at each step of the process. He promptly responded to my questions or concerns, while also being respectful of my time with regards to billing. His paralegal Lindsay is so kind, patient, detailed, organized and easy to work with. Their dedication to my case (working a holiday weekend before my trial date!) was easy to see. I truly cannot thank Allen and Lindsay enough for the positive results at the resolution of my case! THANK YOU!
